Why is Africa, the most resource rich continent on the planet...

[JasonSJackson]

,the only continent on earth that doesnt have a domestic automobile?

in 2009 Muammar Gaddafi introduced a completely domestic produced car

that will never see the light of day now......

the only other 100% domesticly manufactured automobile produced in Africa was done in Nigeria in 1986

Why is this?

A lot of it probably has to do with the way history played out. Africa wasn't a part of the industrial revolution as much as their European and American counterparts, as they were too busy being exploited by colonists for their raw materials for various things. Being kept under the thumb by these types probably played a huge hand in stifling independent, domestic auto companies from growing in Africa.

those were the tools. what i find funny is how things like gunpowder had been invented in places like china but they weren't using in a such a destructive way, or in a way bent on domination. in fact, they discovered it trying to find a mixture for immortality. it's more about their intent with such tools that made it possible. with intent, that turned shyt like guns (which were useless without gunpowder) into a weapon...

It is a long answer, but I'll try



Prior to the industrial revolution, wealth was measured in how much land you had since things were still agriculturally based. Because of the industrial revolution and we started making things, we therefore had to start buying things, and the measure of wealth moved to material possessions and money.

Now, you had all these sons of nobles set to inherit all this land but land didn't mean shyt anymore. So they decided to make a name for themselves in other ways and being an explorer was one of them. David Livingston ("founder" of the Victoria falls) and Cecil Rhodes ( name sake of the country formerly known as Rhodesia) were the son of rich nobles.

Because these explorers claimed the land of the country they were from, all of that African countries resources were now the property of the European country, so they got rich and other countries wanted to get some of the action and started sending folks down their to claim land.

It also didn't hurt that the euros thought the Africans were "godless heathens and savages" so they kinda felt justified in being down there too, to I guess save their souls.




You're welcome
